Soccer Youth Academy for Kids (1 Viewer)

This is were Ajax have the advantage. They ALWAYS let some players from their youth debut in the first team. They are a selling club even if they dont always admit it. They train their youngsters to sell them, so your son will have more chance of reaching the first team at Ajax then lets say Juve or Barca. You should look up when the try-outs are, your son needs to go there to be selected. And if he reaches the first team, even if he isn't the most talented, he'll get noticed by bigger clubs just because he's an Ajax youngster 
. Just look at Emanuelson.
Dont think I'm advertising for Ajax, I dont like the club at all, but in your case they're the best option.

Well, I don't know, it seems to be a lot of pressure on a kid turning five. I mean, moving continents just so he could get a chance to be a professional football player sounds fine, but what if he doesn't want to play anymore in a couple of years? What if he prefers to party with his friends like any normal teenager, rather than being focused on football?
Check the French academies like Auxerre, Lyon and Marseille too.
And of course there's the famous Claire Fontaine Academy, it's considered to be the best academy in the world.
Some names to emerge from there are
Nicolas Anelka
William Gallas
Thierry Henry
Louis Saha
Jérôme Rothen

Other than Juve and Ajax, you have Arsenal, another great academy.

They played for some average team until people saw they actually had talent and went to get them. Jeez, you could at least wait until the kid is 8 and see if he actually has got any talent whatsoever.
Yes.
You're moving continents to let a 5 year old pursue a professional football career. If you don't see a problem with that, you're insane.
Exactly.
You always see problems.

OP
at 8 it could be a bit late, and bout moving continents, its all good, i wont be forcing the kid into anything he doesnt want to be, but im opening the doors for it, so in the end it goes down to him, what he wants, what he chooses, and we'll go from there, but im going to give him a try, i know he loves & adores soccer now maybe he doesn't what do i know right? well he's my son and i know what i see so far, just because im in canada doesnt mean its a hassle to move between continents, by the time he's 8, he wouldve been playing and training in the academy for 3 to 4 years, having mates in the academy, dreaming big about being some top player, has idols and all that, i dont think he'd want to leave, it depends on the environment he will be in, the one i want to give to him not force down his throat.
A juventus soccer school has opened in Greece, more like:
http://www.juventus.com/site/eng/JAY_juvesoccerschool.asp
Pessoto, Marcho Marchi and Blanc were there to support and advertise the new motion.
It seems that Pessotto will be in charge, of these academies and their interaction with our HQ.
There were some extensive interviews with Pessotto+Blanc;

(he he, in Greek
)
They are basically saying that they are building the new competitive Juve of tomorrow. And they are building such academies, around the globe
(they said Greece was the first, then USA, Australia, UAE, Canada and 6-7 countries more, will follow)
Juve is looking for the new "DP" and the new "Buffon" in these academies.
They dont want just a raw talent, but also a balanced and educated player (well tough luck there
)
They believe that as a former football player, Pessotto is the right man for the job...
The best talents will be moved to Torino for further evaluation.
There wont be any collaboration with local FCs.
The academies will make sure that the players will have the proper technical and mental training.
Which will be completely compatible with the Juventus philosophy.
The ultimate goal, is to develop and promote football, as a whole, in those countries, that lack professional football academies.
Pessotto spoke about his memories in Greece (0-7 with Olympiakos and the hostile atmosphere he faced vs PAO) He also confirmed that DP will be ready for the important derby with Inter.
Blanc insisted that Juventus dont want to lose its Italian character, but since the football rules are in constant change, Juventus must adapt to the new conditions...
